Cattle Commissioners.


1t seems that the governor has finally
concluded that there is sufficient cause
for the appointment of cattle commits
sioners, and has done so, the commission
consisting of John B. Mead, E. n.
Bissell and L. A. Drew. Several
weeks ago we called the governors at
tention, both in the papers and by pri-
vate letter, to the eminent danger to
the cattle interests of our state from
the diseases in the states about us and
the Massachusetts, quarantine, which
prevented the entry into that state of
cattle from Vermont. In the south
western portion of the state a virulent
disease has broken out, called pleuro-
pneumonia by some and autheax by
others, with the symptoms more like
the latter disease, so far as we can
Judge at this distance. Several herds
are infected and nearly thirty deaths
have already occurred. We have the
disease in our state, and we trust that
the commission will stop at no half
way measures, as the most thorough
work, though costly, will in the end be
the most economical.

Sound Doctrine.

The members of the Veterinary
Medical Association, which recently
convened in Philadelphia, struck the
nail on the head when they adopted a
resolution calling the attention of
boards of health throughout the country
to the danger of pleuro-pneumonia and
the necessity of rigid and complete
inspection of all milk diaries and
slaughter-houses by qualified veterina-
rians, who should be attached to each
board of health. This is business,
and if such condition of affairs can
be brought about the result will be far
more satisfactory-at least to milk
drinkers-than the long-winded, theo-
retical and so-called scientific discus
sions, which are now being used in
some quarters as a key to the solution
of the problem. At the meeting re-
ferred to DR.. Salmon, the head of the
veterinary department at Washington
said that fully Ia, 900 to 100000 human
lives are lost every year through the
use of milk and meat from tuberculosed
cattle. 1t is question which should
be taken firmly in hand by the proper
authorities in each milk-producing dis
trict.-Erchonge.

How to Make Pork Probably.

We live in a locality where mixed
agriculture is engaged in. Pork-fatten-
ing is quite as prominent as any branch,
PEELED to say that comparatively few
make it success financially, but some
of my experience in this direction is
satisfactory. During the winter of
1856 up to February l l fed thirteen
pigs for market. They were two
months old on December /, 1885. Our
market required light pork for first
price, and they were killed on February
l and weighed in aggregate 1,540
pounds. They sold at six and one-half
cents and returned me 500. Store
shotes were plenty during the fall and
very cheap. l was offered 81 apiece
for them on December l, but refused
it. Counting my labor but little for l
did it all myself, l found that l real
lied upwards of eighty-ive cents per
bushel for all the corn l fed them. l
used sound, yellow corn, ground fine,
and slight mixture of middlings. The
pen and trough were kept perfectly
clean and the pigs dry and warm, with
change of litter very often. l never
saw them pile up on the coolest nights.
but they were always content to lie
singly about in the litter. While many
complaints from other feeders were
made on account of scurf and stiff
joints, lameness, ETC., my pigs were all
supple and always ready for their meals
fed but twice day and mixed the
feed fresh and warm at each feeding,
but occasionally gave them a drink of
clean cold water, which they relished.
My theory is, first, get the right kind
of feed; second, never over-feed; third,
take care to feed at regular times and
keep everything scrupulously clean. In
this way for years have never failed of
getting good results.-ManderiUe s..
| Frost, IN Homestead.

two and three together; then mix num-
bers five, six and seven in five buckets
of water. When dissolved add the
liquid to the first, second and third
articles. When mixed add fourth arti-
Gle. The above was prepared by Liebig
as an artificial guano, which. every
farmer can manufacture himself. The
farmer if he wants good fertilizers
must make them himself. In following
the above receipt he must be careful
not to change the ingredients, as they
have important chemical effects upon
each other Nothing, for instance,
will take the place of muck, on account
of its carboic acid being a powerful
solvent. The great trouble about peo-
pie preparing these things is that they
do not adhere strictly to the receipt,
thinking either that they know more
than Liebig or that small departure
makes no difference. All these in
gradients are easily obtained. Any
farmer who makes this himself will
save upon the cost of ton the cost of
a ton of phosphate and have twice the
value of the phosphate for his money.
The cost of Liebig's preparation is esti-
mated to amount to from S15 to $50,
and it will go over five acres. -Vinelond

Change the Ground.

One mistake in poultry-keeping is in
running the hens on the same plot of
ground continually. 1 believe it to be
fact that they will not do as well in
the same quarters after running there a
few years. That has been my expert
ence, and have come to the conclusion
that some cheap but warm shelter
should be made and every few years re-
moved to an entirely new spot. There
is no doubt in my mind that small
flock of hens, well cared for, is good
property The farmer must look out
for the little things as we'll as the larger
ones, in order to be successful, and also
be prudent and industrious, possessing
good judgment and perseverance. If
endowed with all of these, he may as
well farm in New England as the West,
for he will be prosperous in either
location without doubt.-F. II. d., IN
Homestead.

law, as soldiers widows were not
mentioned in it.
H. G. H., CAMBRIDGE, MAss.-You

your claim was suspended prior to the
dropping of your name from the pen
sion roll. If you succeed, however, in
your application for restoration the
pension will commence from the date of
your last payment If you can furnish

Where no widow survives the children
under sixteen receive both the widows
pension and their allowance of 50 a

Maple Trees.

Sugar-making is paying business
where one has good sugar orchard,
but it is difficult and laborious work. If
the farmers would save and plant many
sugar naples in years to come their
farms would be rendered more attract
veand remunerative thereby. Set them
in pastures and alongside the high
way. Soon they will be ornamental and
useful. The most beautiful drives we
have are where naples of from twenty
to fifty years growth line the roadway
on either side. AS this is to be the
home of healthful and intelligent peo-
Pile, too much cannot be done to enrich
and embellish these homes. I hope
every holder of farm will find time
the coming season to set a dozen or
more of these lovely and valuable
trees.-S. II. Spear, IN Mirror and

from the South, where he went for his
health. Mr.. Jones is widely known in

Maple Sugar.

/ noticed in the article on sugar making
that / sent you on March II that you gave
the weight of syrup as seventeen pounds
per gallon. 1t should have been eleven
pounds per gallon; and even at that weight
it will sometimes crystalize in hot weather,
and if it does not weigh about that it will
ferment in warm weather, so that / think
that it should not vary much from that.
have practiced for few years past the
stirring or drying down of a part of my
sugar, which makes nice article to use for
the table; but it wants to be handled with
care, as it is liable to burn or scorch on the
pan. To do it you must take small amounts,
keep it moving all the time and have
but little fire. l use wooden ladies to stir it
with. If one has not tried it they should
not hurry it, for it will be very likely to
burn. Every one has his likes and dislkes
in relation to doing this work. l notice Mr.
Webster does not like the tin spout; neither
do l like the Eureka spout nor the heater
that he uses, or at least any one that 1 have
seen. One Of my neighbors got one, but he
does not use it much of the time Will
some one tell what makes the sugar and
syrup that are made with the evaporator
have that sort of fiat or insipid taste?
Nearly all that / have seen has that peculiar
taste. Will syrup that is put up cold be
any more likely to crystalize than it would
if put up hot and sealed?-H. p. Abbott, in
Mirror and Farmer.
Do you use an evaporation, and are
you certain that it has 90 that sort of
fiat or insipid taste?" We don't find
it so. Syrup put up cold will be more
likely to work and throw out the cork
or burst the bottles.

Experiments with New
Fodder Crops.

Professor w. w. Cooke, director of
the State Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton, Burlington, VT, sends the in
formation and directions given below
for experiments with new fodder crops.
Persons desiring to cooperate with the
station in trying experiments should
send for blanks at once:
ALFALFA.-The seed sent is sufficient for
one-ffth of an acre. Select land that is
naturally well drained and from which the
snow does not blow off in winter. Plow and
harrow well. Sow the seed broadcast early
in May. If the growth is light, do not cut
the first year; if heavy, cut just as it begins
to bloom. Do not cut nor feed the after
math the first year AT the end of the
season report to the station the date of SOW
ing, character of land, date of cutting, APP
pearance and approximate quantity of fod-
der, how it was relished by the stock and
the condition of the crop just before the first
frost.
Cow PEA.-The seed sent is suffcien for
one-ffth of an acre, Good land can be used
for the production of heavy growth of fod-
der, or poor weedy land for the double pur-
pose of raising fodder and killingthe weeds
Sow in drills three and one-half feet apart
and about ten seeds to the foot. Plant at
the same time you would beans cultivate
the same as beans, until the growth of run
ners begins to fill the space between the
rows. If desired for green fodder, begin to
cut about the middle of August; if for hay,
cut late in the fall, just before the time of
heavy frosts. At the end of the season re-
port to the station the date of sowing, char
acter of land, date when the runners com
menced to grow, appearance and stage of
growth August 1st, date of cutting and the
character and approximate quantity of hay
or green fodder produced. Also answer
these questions: Did it produce any ma
tured seeds? How was it relished by stock?
What was its apparent effect on the flow
and quality of the milk? Judging from the
results of this seasons growth, would il
pay you to raise it on a larger scale as fod-
der-plant.
DRECTIoNs.-These experiments are to be
tried ON permanent grass-land-that is, on
land which is to be used to raise hay for al
least the next two years. Mark out five
